I would be grateful if someone could help me identify what kind of beetle this is. I have lived in the same house for more than 20 years and do not recall seeing this particular kind before 4 days ago. Since seeing the first we have now seen about 10 crawling on the walls, ceilings and floors of one floor of the house. Their sudden and mostly concentrated abundance leads me to believe they may have just spawned only recently.
We think they may have come in with some of the plotted plants brought in for the winter 3 months ago. It is also possible that they came with some visitors that have been staying here for the past month. They had been traveling extensively in Vietnam and Korea before coming to stay.
For the record, I have already looked through the Ontario section of this (frustrating, no 'select all' option?) Canadian government website: www.cbif.gc.ca/spp_pages/carabids/phps/on_e.php
but nothing that I saw really matched.
Any help identifying them would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
